why????

Maybe Himmelbergs papers have been stamped ....I see both Chol & Himmelberg as similar laconic types, Chol though far more skillful

He is in contract and GC will want a pick for him..we don't have any real picks after our 2nds and there is no way on gods green earth I am paying the GC or North 2nd for him

Don't forget, with Academy picks & compensation picks ....our #23 will drift out to late 20's

In this Draft a pick #28/29 would be around the mark for a Contracted Chol

 

[ABAB]

Doubt you're getting him to agree to it either.

Will need the lure of coming home on a much bigger salary for him to even start to think about it......

Will it? - with 3 GC academy picks in there there may be picks before our GC 2nd getting eaten up - ie dogs pick 17 which is speculated as part of a trade for pick 4 - our pick might come in

Anyway, its irrelevant, if we are using a good 2nd on him we may as well fold as that is a terrible use of our draft resources

Himmelberg could only dream of showing what Chol has shown at AFL level

With that said he wouldn't be best 22 for us

 

[MRB37]

why????

He's tall and we're looking for some more depth.

Has he ever played defence?

or ruck

Brisbane are up there with Port as seemingly having unlimited list spots, seem to bring in 2-3 recruits every season and are linked to just about everyone.

Not sure what Chol is on per year but potential salary dump as a way to pick 4? I don’t mind the idea of Chol, would prefer him to Burgess.

 

[Hell Boy6669]

Chol is good mates with rankine, could be the link

 

[WaynesWorld19]

or ruck

Chol is actually a good Ruck .....got a great leap

 

[Eagleboy2011]

I recall 2022 where he played a lot of good footy. Not sure why he went backwards this season.

Ben King came back from his ACL, plus Luko moved forward.

Strange why Port Power isn't chasing him as he does solve some of their weakness in ruck and forward.

That article also says that Sydney may have another look at Doedee if they don't land McKay

 

[Scorpus]

Done.

Trade in Chol, put him in first ruck

Salary dump Reilly O'Brien somewhere

 

[MRB37]

The article did say Chol is looking to move to a club where he's best 22, so that may put him off coming to us.

Doesn’t like the hard work?
Avoid

And he's a lock at BRIS ??

 

[Danger in Texas]

Is Chol a salary dump for GC? Or do they want to keep him

 

[40porpoise]

High upside with Chol. Looked good in 2022

 

[MRB37]

And he's a lock at BRIS ??

They might see him replacing Gunston.

 

[BACCS]

I haven't actually seen whwre this is from yet, but its sure to put some minds at ease.View attachment 1803532View attachment 1803533

Not sure if mentioned, but Jay Clark said we have asked about Petty for the McAdam deal. Probably unlikely to happen, but shows we aren’t just looking for a depth player and are indeed driving a hard bargain.

Where is this "hasn't made it to the midfield as hoped talk" coming from? He was drafted by the very astute Kinnear Beatson off of a good showing forward at the Nationals and a big Finals campaign in the SANFL finals series for North Adelaide, a position he played all year.
He's played relativeley little midfield at all.
He's decent marking medium forward and if we have interest why not wait until he's a RFA next year because if you think Sydney are letting a contracted best 22 player go for a 2nd round pick especially so soon after the Dawson situation I think you're going to be very disappointed.

It comes from Sydney supporters I've spoken to, and it was in the media a couple of years ago that he could transition into the midfield. This hasn't happened and other players, including Warner, Gulden and Campbell, have gone past him in the past 2 years. Hayward is best 22, but not necessarily best 18, and in the forward line is behind Heeney, Papley, McDonald even Amarty. Also Gulden rotates forward. So he is 5th or 6th best forward in the team.

I rank him behind about 17 players at the swans once you look at the midfield and backline.

And yes I may be disappointed if we give up more than a second rounder, I have been disappointed by trades on multiple occasions!
